From Response to Resilience: A Business Continuity Approach to Workplace Violence
Date: Wednesday August 12, 2026 at 2:00pm ET - 1:00pm CT - 11:00am PT
Every organization hopes it never has to respond to a workplace violence incident, natural disaster, or other major disruption—but hoping isn’t a strategy. The organizations that recover most effectively are those that have planned ahead, established clear roles, and understand how emergency preparedness, workplace violence prevention, and business continuity fit together.
Join OH&S Executive Editor David Kopf for an Executive Q&A with two BSI experts who help organizations prepare for and recover from disruptive events. Together, they’ll discuss how evolving workplace violence requirements intersect with broader business continuity planning, what organizations should be doing before an incident occurs, and where many employers still fall short in protecting both their people and their operations. Most importantly, this is your opportunity to ask questions and receive practical guidance tailored to the real-world challenges you’re facing.
Bring your questions and join the conversation. Whether you’re updating your emergency response plans, navigating new workplace violence regulations, or strengthening your organization’s resilience, this interactive discussion is designed to address the issues that matter most to you. Throughout the webinar, attendees will have the opportunity to submit questions directly to our experts, making each Executive Q&A a timely, engaging discussion driven by audience participation.
During this live Q&A, we’ll discuss:
- How workplace violence prevention and business continuity planning complement one another
- Recent workplace violence regulatory developments and what employers should know
- The essential elements of an effective business continuity program
- How organizations can prepare for, respond to, and recover from disruptive incidents
- Common planning gaps that can hinder recovery—and how to avoid them
- Audience questions on emergency preparedness, workplace violence, and organizational resilience
